1 NOTES FOR THE TEACHER UNITS 8 10 Fire: Friend and Foe Natural phenomenon fire is both friend and enemy. An informative piece about a potential hazard that can easily be prevented. The point that the simple present tense signifies habitual or repeated actions rather than the present time needs reiteration and further practice. Build on Activity I under Working with Language and design two or three additional tasks. It will be interesting to show simple present in contrast with present continuous. I walk to school every morning. Today I am taking a bus. We have our morning assembly before the first hour, but today we are attending a special programme instead on health and hygiene. The writing activity, as after The Ashes that Made Trees Bloom, is for further practice in language analysis. Read aloud the news item in the box at the end of the lesson. Ask children to find other news items/headlines on a specified theme. Display some on the class bulletin board. Meadow Surprises Let children find pictures of a butterfly and other insects/ birds, a buttercup and other flowers that they know, a rabbit and/or a running brook and arrange the pictures in a patchwork design of their choice. Activity 4 can be taken up as a mini project. Involve groups of children in doing it. The paragraph(s) or poem(s) written at the end of the week may be put up on the class bulletin board.
2 112/HONEYCOMB Encourage children to share with their peers any interesting surprise that they may have come across. A Bicycle in Good Repair Humour exaggerated details of a commonplace event (pleasure ride on a bicycle) that never takes off, though numerous unexpected things happen in the process. Short notes on modal auxiliaries are given preceding the three exercises under Working with Language. These may be suitably expanded, if necessary. However, the skill to use modals appropriately in contexts should receive primary focus in preference over out-of-context explanations. Activity 4 on en as prefix, suffix or as part of the word should be completed in more than one session. One period may be devoted to each part including intermittent queries and explanations and the writing work involved. Garden Snake Recite the poem with correct pauses. Draw children s attention to the following. 1. That snake in the grass reported me to the Headmistress. Does snake refer to a snake in the meadow/grass or to a treacherous person who pretends to be a friend? A snake in the grass is an idiom. 2. Snake can be used as a verb. The road snakes its way through the mountains. (follows a twisting, winding course) The river snaked away into the distance. (moving like a snake, disappeared) 3. snaky (like a snake) the snaky movements of the young dancers narrow snaky paths through the hill
3 NOTES FOR THE TEACHER/113 The Story of Cricket Games and sport the story of cricket told in a historical perspective, the continuity of the game down the ages and its emergence as the most popular modern sport and entertainment. Though the text is rather long and challenging, the content is exciting enough to work well in class. Most children know something about the game including names of players/teams, and will show enthusiasm for the story of cricket. Photographs given will enhance their interest in the lesson. No time need be expended on memorisation/recall of dates/years, names of places and clubs, measurements, etc. Additional sectioning of parts and designing of whilereading comprehension checks, as suggested elsewhere, will be of special use here. Wordsearch clues to be explained at length before the activity is attempted. Another Wordsearch for gamesrelated words and phrases can easily be prepared in class.

7 8 Before you read Fire is both useful and dangerous. What is fire? How did we discover it? How do we control it? smouldering: burning slowly without flame E Fire: Friend and Foe arly man didn t know what fire was, but he must have seen the damage it could cause. He must have watched lightning and volcanoes long before he began to use fire himself. Fire was powerful and dangerous, and he was frightened. Fire may have puzzled early man but we now know that fire is the result of a chemical reaction. When the oxygen in the air combines with carbon and hydrogen in a fuel, a chemical reaction takes place. Energy in the form of heat and light is released in this process. This is what we call fire. Three things are needed to make fire fuel, oxygen and heat. Wood, coal, cooking gas and petrol are some examples of fuel. Oxygen comes from the air. That is why, when you blow on smouldering paper, it often bursts into flame. The third thing needed to make fire is heat. Fuel and oxygen do not make fire by themselves, or else a newspaper or a stick lying in the open would catch fire on its own. To burn a piece of paper or wood,
8 FIRE: FRIEND AND FOE/115 we heat it before it catches fire. We generally do it with a lighted match. Every fuel has a particular temperature at which it begins to burn. This temperature is called the flash point or kindling temperature of the fuel. It is sometimes said that fire is a good servant but a bad master. It only means that fire is very useful as long as it is kept under control. For instance, we use it to cook our food, warm our homes in winter and to generate electricity. But, on the other hand, if fire gets out of control it can be very dangerous. Each year thousands of homes and shops are damaged by fire. Vast areas of forest are also destroyed and hundreds of people are killed or injured. Just as three things are needed to start a fire, there are three main ways in which a fire can be put out. In each, one of the three things needed for burning is taken away. generate: produce
9 116/HONEYCOMB add fuel to the flames (idiom): say or do something that makes people react more strongly and fiercely smothered: suffocated (from lack of air) extinguish: put out For example, we can take away the fuel. If the fire has no fuel to feed on, no burning can take place. We often let a fire die out simply by not adding more fuel to it. The second way of putting out a fire is to prevent oxygen from reaching it. No supply of oxygen means no fire. Small fires can be put out or smothered with a damp blanket or a sack. This stops oxygen reaching the burning material. Sometimes, carbon dioxide is used to extinguish fire. It does not allow oxygen to reach the burning material. The third way of putting out a fire is to remove the heat. If the temperature can be brought down below the flash point, the fuel stops burning. You blow on a burning matchstick or a candle to put it out. In doing so, you remove the hot air around the flame bringing down its temperature below the flash point, and the candle goes out. Sometimes, water is sprayed on a fire. It absorbs heat from the burning fuel and lowers the temperature. The blanket of water also cuts off the supply of oxygen, and the fire is extinguished. Some fires cannot be put out with water. If water is sprayed onto an oil fire, the oil will float to the top of the water and continue to burn. This can be very dangerous because water can flow quickly, carrying the burning oil with it and spreading the fire. Water should also not be used on fires caused by electrical appliances. The person spraying water might receive an electric shock and be killed. A carbon dioxide extinguisher is the best thing to fight an electrical fire.
10 FIRE: FRIEND AND FOE/117 We spend millions of rupees each year in fighting fires. And we spend more trying to find new ways of preventing fires from happening and getting out of control. On the whole, we have learnt rather well to control fire and put it to good use in our everyday life. Long ago, there were no firemen. When fire broke out, everybody became a firefighter. People formed human chains (they still do if required) and passed buckets of water from a well or a pond to the blaze. Now there are laws about building construction which ensure that space is left between buildings to reduce the fire risk. Every new building, especially a public place, must ensure observance of fire prevention norms. Bands of firefighting workers with special equipment, known as fire brigades, are there to put out fires. Firefighters are highly trained people. They possess many skills. They cut off electricity supply, knock down dangerous walls, spray water and other materials to bring fire under control. They are also trained in first aid so that bands: groups equipment: things needed
11 118/HONEYCOMB cope: deal with; manage they can help people suffering from burns or from the effects of smoke. The discovery of fire and its uses helped early man to cope with nature better and gradually adopt a settled mode of life. Fire is still worshipped in many parts of the world. Fire is indeed a friend but, as we know, it can be a dangerous enemy once it gets out of control. Comprehension Check 1. Mark the correct answer in each of the following.

16 Meadow Surprises Walk across a green field, a park or even under a clump of trees, and you will notice many wonderful things. What are some of the surprises a meadow has for someone with a keen eye and a sharp ear? Meadows have surprises, You can find them if you look; Walk softly through the velvet grass, And listen by the brook. You may see a butterfly Rest upon a buttercup And unfold its drinking straws To sip the nectar up. You may scare a rabbit Who is sitting very still; Though at first you may not see him, When he hops you will. A dandelion whose fuzzy head Was golden days ago Has turned to airy parachutes That flutter when you blow.
